I remember I was hunting Deathclaws one of my playthroughs, Arcade was nearby and was giving me away, And I saved RIGHT there.. (Big mistake..) amd Arcade ALWAYS DIED.
EVERYTIME.
It made me want to cry.
Oh boy been there I kept leaving Veronica at the entrence, I cleared out the entire area solo.
Only to come back and find one slipped past me and killed her while I was out of reach of the NPC has died pop up.
My favourite hunts are Geckos, but those I like to kill for revenge are scorpions.
Hunting shotguns are however the best hunters weapon for my playstyle.
